When Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng took Zhiyuan away from Gujia Village and returned to the capital, rumors about Chen Xia had already spread in the village, but Gu Juncheng was unaware of this change. They were already on the train to the capital.
Gu Youlian did not go north with them because the Du family still had some things to deal with.
After returning to the capital, Lin Qingping quickly plunged into a busy life.
The dessert shop in Wu Tianjiao Shopping Mall needs to be prepared. As students gradually return to school, Lin Qingping's own shop also needs to be prepared after a summer vacation.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Juncheng returned to school, and then Zhiyuan officially registered for elementary school. It was at this time that Gu Youlian returned to the capital. Moreover, it was not just her and Xiaomai who came back. Of course, Du Gen was also there, but in addition to Du Gen, there was also a distant relative of Du Gen's family, a girl who looked to be around twenty years old, named Lifen.
"My mother-in-law insisted that I bring her along, saying that since we have become successful, the little girl also wants to come to the capital to pursue a career, even if it means being a nanny in our house to broaden her horizons." Gu Youlian complained, "I come from a poor peasant family, why would I need a nanny? Usually it's just Xiaomai and I, so we don't need a nanny. Du Gen couldn't convince his mother, so he had no choice but to bring her along."
Lin Qingping saw that Lifen was very smart, with a pair of bright and lively eyes and a sweet mouth. When she saw Lin Qingping, she called him "sister" very enthusiastically. However, her eyes were too active and they were always looking around, full of desire and ambition.
Having ambition is not a bad thing. It depends on who has the ambition.
Lin Qingping was reborn and believed in appearance. This girl was not to her liking, but after all, she was a relative of the Du Gen family, so she couldn't say anything and could only observe slowly.
In a blink of an eye, a month passed. There was nothing unusual about Lifen. She was very diligent. She really did work as a nanny in Gu Youlian's house. She bought groceries, cooked, picked up the children, and delivered meals to Gu Youlian and others in the store. She was a great help, and Gu Youlian gradually stopped saying anything.
Gu Juncheng was very busy this month and didn't come back once. Even the National Day was spent by Lin Qingping and the others on their own.
On the Saturday after National Day, the capital was already covered with a light autumn atmosphere.
The weather was fine. In the evening, the sunset dyed the street where Lin Qingping was standing with a layer of gold, and the swaying shadows of the trees were very beautiful.
Lifen had just delivered food to the store and was riding a bicycle home.
The bicycle belongs to Gu Youlian.
After Gu Youlian came to the capital, she bought a bicycle for the convenience of traveling to and from the store and because she had some spare money. However, she seldom rode it after buying it. After Lifen came, Gu Youlian generously gave her the bicycle to learn how to ride. She learned it in a week, and then she often rode it to buy groceries and deliver meals.
She didn't dare ride the horse in the middle of the road, so she rode close to the sidewalk and turned a corner to reach the street where her home was.
However, as soon as she turned the corner, the sunlight was too strong and shone directly into her eyes. She could not see anything clearly and the car fell to one side.
She closed her eyes and thought to herself, it’s over, it’s over, I’m going to fall down this time…
However, the situation that she had imagined, where both the person and the bicycle fell to the ground, did not happen. It seemed that there was a force that held her bicycle firmly.
She quickly opened her eyes and saw an olive green dress.
"Are you okay?" the man asked her in a low voice.
She saw it clearly.
The man who rescued her was a soldier, wearing a neat military uniform and looking particularly tall and straight.
The sunlight shines on his handsome face, and his deep eyebrows and eyes look particularly beautiful.
Her face turned red and she quickly said, "It's okay, it's okay."
Then he pushed off the bike and rode home quickly.
Gu Juncheng didn't take it seriously. On his way home, he saw a bicycle fall down beside him. He just picked it up and then went home.
Lin Qingping was not at home again, and Zhiyuan should be playing with Xiaomai at his eldest sister's house. He went into the kitchen by himself and started cooking noodles - what Lin Qingping called pig food.
Just as the food was cooked, the door rang and Zhiyuan came back.
He didn't come alone, there was a girl following him - Lifen.
When Lifen walked in and saw Gu Juncheng sitting at the table eating plain noodles, she was stunned for a moment and put down the large sack in her hand.
"Uncle Gu!" Zhiyuan hadn't seen Gu Juncheng for a long time, so he called out happily and said to Lifen, "This is my Uncle Gu."
Lifen blushed and nodded, "I bought a few watermelons, and my sister-in-law asked me to bring some over."
Gu Juncheng didn't know her at all, and didn't know who the sister-in-law she was talking about was, but he was always taciturn and cold, so he just said "thank you" and didn't say anything else.
Lifen left in a hurry, but after walking out the door, she calmed her pounding heart.
"Uncle Gu, you don't know her, right? She is a relative of the Xiaomai family." Zhiyuan introduced her to him.
"Yeah." Gu Juncheng was obviously not interested in this topic and only asked him, "How do you feel about entering the first grade now?"
Zhiyuan sighed, "How long has it been since we last met? Can you please not talk about such unhappy topics as soon as we meet?"
Gu Juncheng couldn't help laughing, "What's there to be unhappy about?"
"Well, let me ask you, how much do you earn every month, and are you happy?" Zhiyuan snorted.
"Little brat!" Gu Juncheng tapped him on the head. "I'm free now, so I'll check your homework."
Zhiyuan: ??? Is there any justice left?
"Aren't you going to pick up my mother?" He assigned a task to his Uncle Gu.
"Stop talking! Homework!"
Zhiyuan's mission failed, and he didn't dare to disobey Uncle Gu's order. He took out his schoolbag listlessly and prepared to write!
I haven’t written a single word of my homework!
Gu Juncheng watched him write, but before he had written a few words, there was another knock on the door.
"I'll go open it!" Zhiyuan threw the pen and ran away, leaving Gu Juncheng smiling and shaking his head.
The person standing outside the door was still Lifen.
Lifen was holding a bowl of rice with vegetables on top, mostly meat.
"Hey, Aunt Lifen, who are you serving this meal to?" Zhiyuan had already eaten.
Lifen took a look inside and caught a glimpse of Gu Juncheng's profile as he lowered his head to read a book. He looked tall and handsome.
Her face slightly blushed, and she handed the meal to Zhiyuan, "You give it to your Uncle Gu. It's leftovers from delivering meals to the store anyway. Doesn't your Uncle Gu have any food?"
"Oh." Zhiyuan responded. He didn't think there was anything wrong with it. This was indeed what they had left over.
"I'm leaving." Lifen said this, but her eyes were fixed on a silhouette inside until Zhiyuan closed the door.
Gu Juncheng had already eaten noodles and was not hungry, so the bowl of rice was left over.
In the evening, Gu Juncheng went to pick up Lin Qingping. When they arrived home, Lin Qingping noticed this bowl of rice at first sight.
"Whose food is this? Why are you leaving so much food?" Lin Qingping couldn't help but ask. There is no refrigerator yet, and in this weather, it will go bad if left until tomorrow.
